Pulmonary function tests for infants and toddlers are becoming more accessible due to new technology. This review covers various methods and their clinical uses in young children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Respiratory Physiology in Infants

Background:

  • Pulmonary function testing (PFT) in infants has historically been limited to specialized centers and research.
  • Advancements in commercial equipment and techniques have expanded the applicability of PFTs in younger populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review techniques for studying pulmonary function in infants and toddlers.
  • To discuss the clinical applications of these pediatric respiratory assessments.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of various established and emerging methods for infant and toddler lung function assessment.
  • Discussion of technical considerations and data interpretation for pediatric PFTs.

Main Results:

  • The review synthesizes information on diverse PFT techniques suitable for non-cooperative subjects.
